What Is The Algebra 1 Placement Exam Study Guide?
This is a study guide to help you strengthen the skills tested on the Algebra 1 Placement Exam. The Algebra 1 Placement
Exam is a district developed test based on the State’s 8th grade TEKS.
The Algebra 1 Placement Exam is a timed test administered online. It is designed to provide an accurate measure of
Algebra 1 readiness in Grand Prairie schools. Research supports the claim that by mastering skills and concepts taught in
the 8th grade, you will be better prepared to succeed on this placement exam and in the Algebra 1 course during the
next school year. As a result of these findings, the Algebra 1 Placement Exam will be based on critical 8th grade concepts.
This study guide covers a sample of mathematics problems that are similar to the ones used on the Algebra 1 Placement
Exam. It may be helpful to use TAKS study guides to help with the explanation of concepts. Interactive online and print
versions of TAKS study guides can be found at the following web address:
